So I'm Socrates huh?.......Uhm.... eh....  I don't know who Socrates is either.... I'll google him later...

This conversation reminds me of when I used to drive my Z on the old highways and mountain roads...Here's a hint of what happened

"Have any of you seen the world upside down at 85 miles per hour?"  


Socrates looks old....

What were we talking about anyways?... Oh yea mustangs definitely yes...RWD yes...hum... LOL    

haha yeah socrates was a bit old but a great thinker.

and haha what kinda z? the nice old 280 or what?

but i like the old mustangs better then the new. 66 coupe ftw! 302 boss. eat it. lol. the fox bodies just look ugly.  

Too old if you ask me... When he die the 20's? Nice name though... Way better than Aristople?...totle?

Uhm... an 04 350Z (which found out had a Borla Exhaust system when I saw the muffler assembly 20ft away "Hey! It says Borla! LOL) but this was more than a year and a half now...

I like the one that came out on the movie Bullet I think it was the 390? I'm not that much of a fan of Eleanor like all the 30 somethings that saw Gone in 60 Seconds Yeah the Fox body are extremely ugly. Specially the sedan! What where they sniffing industrial glue?!  

lol i agree on the fox bodys, theres a reason why a mag (cant remember which one) took one out to the desert and destroyed it with an H1.  I like 60's stangs as well, only problem is when you find one in decent condition, worthy of a restore theyre expensive just for the shell because of that damn 60 sec movie.  (sad thing is that wasnt even an actual 67 gt 500.  But i suppose its a good thing cuz they destroyed it.) Ill stick with my 68 challenger project for an old school project lol.  

haha! somehow we've managed to turn import tuner forum into a literature history forum. lol! suck on that graham. no offense...  

haha a 68 challenger?!?!?! my fav muscle car. what engline does that thing have? 440 six pack, or you gonna drop a 426 hemi in that bad boy. if its anything without a "4" at the front of it im slapping you rabble  

Crate 528 HEMI. No replacement for displacement. It was my dads first car. Found it in a buncha brush in my gramps back yard and it looked like itd been there since the mid 70's.  Im restoring it as a gift for his 60th bday in 2 yrs. Just finished the body work on it  

very nice. im happy that i dont have to slap you. and you better bet im comin for a ride in that beast. ill let you drive the stang :P you know what color its gonna be yet? ive always had a thing for the orange and black. thats just me though  

Not sure yet.  Ive been trying to find an old pic of it an have it be the same color it was when he had it. But seeing how my family is with old pictures (theyre all just thrown in a big friggin box), it been kinda hard.  And asking him is outta the question seeing as he knows im working on SOMETHING for him, as i wont let him go into the bay of my garage its stored in. So asking what color his old challenger was would be too much of a tip off.  If i cant find out tho i might just do a nice flat black/silver two tone, as hes always talking about how nice the older cars look with a good two tone.

Oh and once its done feel free to drag your ass to the other side of the country, Im in the shittiest state in the union, CT. lol  

haha cali baby. and oh i guess im gonna have to do just that. lol. then i'll steal the challenger.
and a nice silver black would be good. not really the classic colors of the challenger though. lol dodge had those crazy colors like the plum purple and that shock green back then.  

lol yea they went nuts with colors back in the day.  just think if they were like that in the 80's when that dayglo crap was huge.  

haha oh hell that woulda been an eyesore now wouldnt it. so are you doing a total rebuild like interior exterior and all that. what condition was it in when you first started on it?  

it was a typical mopar. Mostly Old Parts And Rust.  floor and trunk were rusted out, wouldnt start, interior was shot, and no glass. (luckily for me im an auto glass tech so i got that almost free where the back window is 1300 new). did a complete body off restore. Powder coated frame, new steering assembly w/power steering, new axles, 3.96 rear end. the crate motor w/ a muncie 4 spd.  New floors, trunk, quaterpanels, fenders, and hood. Had all the bumpers and grill and cleaned up and re chromed. Removed and smoothed all trim. Led taillight conversion.  I spent about 250 hrs on it so far, and only thing left is interior, sound, and paint.  Int is gonna be new carpet, seats, 3 spoke gt wheel, luckily i was able to save the dashboard.  Autometer guage cluster (Custom with tach, speedo, gas and temp in main, oil pressure, oil temp, and trans fluid temp in center of dash) panels are being reupholstered, 4 point harnesses for driver and passenger, roll cage, Alpine head unit, and a rockford fosgate 10" bazooka tube in trunk. Paint color will be a two tone something, not sure yet.

Yea Id say its a full restore  

Ha! I'm put to shame... Most of the muscle cars I'd owned were a mere Firebirds, Trans-Am's and Camaros. Nothing special though the Firebird had an LS1 (my favorite V8), but nothing comparing to yours....  

Technically not mine tho.. Im building it as a suprise for my dads birthday, it was his first car when he was a kid.  2nd muscle ive owned, 1st was a 3rd gen camaro with a 550 hp 350.  Flipped it 6 times while being stupid and drifting a highway onramp at 90mph.

Did i mention Im still only 22? lol
